[cw-discuss] Some internationalization issues with CrossOver Mac

[Aric Stewart]

Hello,

  Beta 2 always uses en_US right now. We are doing work to pick up the
locale based on the UI language settings however that is still upcoming.

  At present the best way to have your environment work in Japanese is
to use Run Command... and select the bottle and click Open Shell.

  Note that there is a bug that sometimes the given shell is not
correctly configures so please try a test run of
 wine notepad

  once you have a good shell, you can set it to Japanese by typing:
export LC_ALL=ja_JP; export LANG=ja_JP

  then wine will function in Japanese.
